  • An LGBT magazine in Minnesota outed a local minister as a closeted homosexual. But their methods -- they reported on his participation in a 12-step program -- are a bit questionable. Furthermore, as Tom Scocca writes, is the minister "hypocritical" if he's fighting against homosexuality in society and in himself?
  • The Washington Times photoshops a turban on Elena Kagan because she is a scary evil Muslim liberal communist fascist Maoist terrorist etc. etc.
  • The great Spencer Ackerman is moving to Wired's Danger Room blog.
  • The owners of oil pipelines are collecting phantom income taxes that they do not actually pay. From you!
  • For some reason, Politico cut a line from a story that accidentally demonstrated why so much DC journalism sucks.
  • The New Republic started a blog where Dissent's Michael Kazin and the National Review's Jim Manzi criticize TNR from the left and right, respectively. So psyched!
  • Our healthcare system still sucks and we are still paying a lot of money for it.
  • Republicans have a demographics problem.
  • Jeb Bush is ready for 2012!
